## Why Should Sprint Reviews Shift from Delivery-Mode to Product Management? In a product organization, value isn’t measured at project closure—it’s earned incrementally. A product-focused Sprint Review lets you test assumptions early, uncover whether you’re solving the right problem, and adapt the plan before wasting effort on the wrong things. > [!metaphor] > Using Sprint Reviews like sign-offs is like steering with a rearview mirror—you only see where you’ve been. A product-focused review turns that mirror into a steering wheel, allowing you to course-correct early and aim for the correct value more quickly. ## Works Consulted 1.
